Electrochromic NiO films were prepared by using an electron-beam deposition method. The influence of the preparation conditions, especially the substrate temperature, on the electrochemical stability of film was investigated. The optical properties and stability of as-deposited films strongly depended on the substrate temperature during deposition. The NiO film prepared at a substrate temperature of 150~$200^{\circ}C$ was found to be the stabel when subjected to 5000cycles in a 0.5M solution of KOH between -6.0 and +0.8V. The best electrochromic parameters after 5000cycles were obtained for samples with substrate temperature of $150^{\circ}C$. The obtained electrochromic parameters are CE=-0.049($\lambda$=550nm), $\Delta$OD=0.88($\lambda$=550nm)$\textrm{cm}^2$/mC, Qin=-18.11mC/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and Qleft= 14.8mC/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

황산 전해질에서 고순도의 알루미늄 판재를 양극산화 시켜 이방성이 큰 나노기공을 보유한 AAO를 제조하였다. 나노선재를 제조하기 위한 template재료로서 가장 적합한 AAO를 제조하기 위해 AAO의 나노기공의 크기와 분포 등에 영향을 미치는 양극산화 변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 제조된 AAO의 SEM관찰을 통해 나노기공의 직경과 분포를 확인할 수 있었고, AAO를 template로 사용하여 교류 전주법으로 제조한 Fe 나노선재를 TEM 관찰하여 나노기공의 길이와 내부 표면상태를 확인하였다. AAO를 SEM으로 확인한 결과 전해질의 온도나 양극산화 전압 등의 변수에 따라 기공의 크기와 분포의 변화가 분명하게 관찰되었으며, 제조된 나노선재는 평균 길이 $10{\mu}m,\;300\~1000$범위의 종횡비를 갖고 있음이 TEM으로 확인되었다.

In this study, we have demonstrated the fine structure effect of PdCo electrocatalyst on oxygen reduction reaction activity with different alloy composition and heat-treatment time. In order to identify the intrinsic factors for the electrocatalytic activity, various X-ray analyses were used, including inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy technique. In particular, extended X-ray absorption fine structure was employed to extract the structural parameters required for understanding the atomic distribution and alloying extent, and to identify the corresponding simulated structures by using FEFF8 code and IFEFFIT software. The electrocatalytic activity of PdCo alloy nanoparticles for the oxygen reduction reaction was evaluated by using rotating disk electrode technique and correlated to the change in structural parameters. We have found that Pd-rich surface was formed on the Co core with increasing heating time over 5 hours. Such core shell structure of PdCo/C showed that a superior oxygen reduction reaction activity than pure Pd/C or alloy phase of PdCo/C electrocatalysts, because the adsorption energy of adsorbates was apparently reduced by lowering the dband center of the Pd skin due to a combination of the compressive strain effect and ligand effect.

For cuboid and ellipsoid crystallites of LiFePO₄ powders, by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microscopic (TEM) studies, it is possible to determine the anisotropic parameters of the crystallite size distribution functions. These parameters were used to describe the cathode rate capability within the model of averaging the diffusion coefficient D over the length of the crystallite columns along the [010] direction. A LiFePO₄ powder was chosen for testing the developed model, consisting of big cuboid and small ellipsoid crystallites (close to them). When analyzing the parts of big and small rate capabilities, the fitting values D = 2.1 and 0.3 nm²/s were obtained for cuboids and ellipsoids, respectively. When analyzing the results of cyclic voltammetry using the Randles-Sevcik equation and the total area of projections of electrode crystallites on their (010) plane, slightly different values were obtained, D = 0.9 ± 0.15 and 0.5 ± 0.15 nm²/s, respectively. We believe that these inconsistencies can be considered quite acceptable, since both methods of determining D have obvious sources of error. However, the developed method has a clearly lower systematic error due to the ability to actually take into account the shape and statistics of crystallites, and it is also useful for improving the accuracy of the Randles-Sevcik equation. It has also been demonstrated that the shape engineering of crystallites, among other tasks, can increase the cathode capacity by 15% by increasing their size correlation coefficients.

논문에서는 어닐링 시뮬레이션에 근거한 인공 뉴럴 네트워크를 구축한다. 미세 유동채널의 전기화학적 가공 파라미터와 채널 형태 간의 매핑은 샘플의 학습에 의하여 이루어진다. 스텐리스강 표면에 대한 미세 유동채널의 전기화학적 가공의 깊이와 넓이가 예측되고, 형성된 네트워크 모델을 입증하기 위한 NaNO3 해 내부의 펄스 전원공급기와 함께 유동채널의 실험이 진행된다. 결과적으로, "4-7-2" 구조를 갖는 인공 뉴럴 네트워크에 의한 어닐링 시뮬레이션으로 예측된 채널의 깊이와 넓이는 실험값에 매우 근접한다. 그 오차는 5.3% 미만이다. 예측된 데이터와 실험 데이터는 전기화학적 가공 과정에서의 에칭 규격이 전압 및 전류의 밀도와 매우 밀접한 관계가 있음을 보여준다. 전압이 5V보다 작을 때에는 채널 내에 "작은 섬"이 형성된다; 반면에 전압이 40V보다 클 때에는 채널의 측면 에칭이 비교적 크고 채널 사이의 "댐"은 사라지게 된다. 전압이 25V일 때 채널의 가공 형태는 최적이 된다.

The new approaches for silicon solar cell of new concept have been actively conducted. Especially, solar cells with wire array structured radial p-n junctions has attracted considerable attention due to the unique advantages of orthogonalizing the direction of light absorption and charge separation while allowing for improved light scattering and trapping. One-dimenstional semiconductor nano/micro structures should be fabricated for radial p-n junction solar cell. Most of silicon wire and/or pillar arrays have been fabricated by vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) growth because of its simple and cheap process. In the case of the VLS method has some weak points, that is, the incorporation of heavy metal catalysts into the growing silicon wire, the high temperature procedure. We have tried new approaches; one is electrochemical etching, the other is noble metal catalytic etching method to overcome those problems. In this talk, the silicon pillar formation will be characterized by investigating the parameters of the electrochemical etching process such as HF concentration ratio of electrolyte, current density, back contact material, temperature of the solution, and large pre-pattern size and pitch. In the noble metal catalytic etching processes, the effect of solution composition and thickness of metal catalyst on the etching rate and morphologies of silicon was investigated. Finally, radial p-n junction wire arrays were fabricated by spin on doping (phosphor), starting from chemical etched p-Si wire arrays. In/Ga eutectic metal was used for contact metal. The energy conversion efficiency of radial p-n junction solar cell is discussed.

본 논문에서는 역청탄인 Glencore 탄을 염산과 질산수용액을 이용하여 산 처리하고 원탄과 산 처리 된 석탄의 물리, 화학적 비교분석과 직접탄소 이용 연료전지(Direct Carbon Fuel Cell, DCFC)의 성능 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 석탄의 물성들을 분석하기 위해 열중량 분석과 가스 흡착법, X선 광전자 분광법을 수행하였다. 열중량 분석을 통해 연료의 열적 반응성이 증가하였음을 알 수 있었고, 가스 흡착법 결과로 기공의 평균지름은 변화가 없었지만 표면적은 감소함을 알 수 있었다. X선 광전자 분광법에서는 $HNO_3$ 처리의 경우 가장 높은 산소/탄소 비율을 보였고, 이를 통해 다양한 표면 산소작용기가 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 연료의 표면 물성과 전기화학 성능을 비교한 결과, 표면의 산소 성분의 변화가 DCFC의 성능 향상에 가장 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

Pollution of chloride ion-reinforced concrete can trigger active corrosion processes that reduce the useful life of structures. Multifunctional materials used as a counter-electrode by electrochemical techniques have been used to rehabilitate contaminated concrete. Cement-based pastes added to carbonaceous material, fibers or dust, have been used as an anode in the non-destructive Electrochemical Chloride Extraction (ECE) technique. We studied the performance of the addition of Carbon Fiber (CF) in a cement-graphite powder base paste used as an anode in ECE of concretes contaminated with chlorides from the preparation of the mixture. The experimental parameters were: 2.3% of free chlorides, 21 days of ECE application, a Carbon Fiber Volume Fraction (CFVF) of 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9%, a lithium borate alkaline electrolyte, a current density of $4.0A/m^2$ and a cement/graphite ratio of 1.0 for the paste. The efficiency of the ECE in the traditional technique using metal mesh as an anode was 77.6% and for CFVF of 0.9% it was 90.4%, with a tendency to increase to higher percentages of the CFVF in the conductive cement-graphite paste, keeping the pH stable and achieving a homogeneous ECE in the mass of the concrete contaminated with chlorides.

This paper describes the development of a portable potentiostat which can perform square wave voltammetry on electrochemical sensors and wireless transmission of the measured data to a smartphone using Bluetooth. The potentiostat consists of a square wave potential pulse generation circuit for applying the potential pulse to the electrochemical sensor, a reduction/oxidation (or redox) current measurement circuit, and Bluetooth for wireless data transmission to an Android-based smartphone. The measured data are then processed to show the output graph on the smart phone screen in real time. This data transformation into a graph is carried out by developing and installing a simple transformation application software in the Android-based smartphone. This application software also enables the user to set and change the measurement parameters such as the applied voltage range and measured current range at user's convenience. The square voltammetry output data measured with the developed portable potentiostat were almost same as the data of the commercial potentiostat. The measured oxidation peak current with the commercial potentiostat was $11.35{\mu}A$ at 0.26 V and the measured oxidation peak current with the developed system was $12.38{\mu}A$ at 0.25 V. This proves that performance of the developed portable measurement system is comparable to the commercial one.
